'''''Bob the Builder''''' is a British [[Children's television series|children's animated television]] show created by [[Keith Chapman]]. In the original series, Bob appears in a [[Stop motion|stop motion animated]] programme as a [[building]] contractor, specialising in masonry, along with his colleague Wendy, various neighbours and friends, and their gang of [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphised]] work-vehicles and equipment. The show is broadcast in many countries, but originates from the United Kingdom where Bob is voiced by English actor [[Neil Morrissey]]. The show was later created using [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] animation starting with the spin-off series ''Ready, Steady, Build!''.

In each episode, Bob and his group help with renovations, construction, and repairs and with other projects as needed. The show emphasises [[conflict resolution]], co-operation, socialisation and various learning skills. Bob's [[catchphrase]] is "Can we fix it?", to which the other characters respond with "Yes we can!" This phrase is also the title of the show's [[Can We Fix It?|theme song]], which was a million-selling number one hit in the UK.

In October 2014, Bob the Builder was revamped by [[Mattel]] for a new series to be aired on [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]]'s ''[[Milkshake!]]'' in 2015. Amongst the changes were a complete overhaul of the cast, with ''[[Harry Potter]]'' actor [[Lee Ingleby]] replacing [[Neil Morrissey]] as the voice of Bob, and [[Joanne Froggatt]] and [[Blake Harrison]] were also confirmed as the voices of Wendy and Scoop respectively. The setting and appearance of the characters also changed, with Bob and his team moving to the bustling metropolis of Spring City. An American localisation of the new series debuted on [[PBS Kids]] in November 2015. The changes have been criticized by fans of the original version.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Why some people are very angry about the new Bob the Builder|url = https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/new-bob-the-builder-twitter-reacts-to-characters-modern-makeover-9790794.html|website = The Independent|accessdate = 2015-10-29|language = en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title = Bob The Builder's Makeover Angers Fans|url = http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/10/14/bob-the-builder-s-makeover-angers-fans_n_7321336.html|website = The Huffington Post UK|accessdate = 2015-11-19}}</ref>

==Impact==
''Bob the Builder'' was nominated in the [[British Academy of Film and Television Arts|BAFTA]] "Pre-school animation" category from 1999 to 2009,{{not in source|date=April 2016}} and won the "Children's Animation" category in 2003 for the special episode "A Christmas to Remember".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bafta.org/awards-database.html?pageNo=1&year=2002|title=Awards Database|accessdate=27 November 2010}}</ref> Of the show's success, Sarah Ball said:
{{quote|I think diggers and dumpers fascinate kids in the same way that they are drawn to dinosaurs. They both have a timeless appeal. The technique of stop motion is very tangible - the characters look like you can just pick them up and play with them. It’s a safe, lovely, bright, colourful world, which is very appealing. [[Curtis Jobling]] did a fantastic job designing the show - it’s very simple and stylized but has such charm.
|Interview with Sarah Ball, Gurgle.com<ref name=gurgle>{{cite web|url=http://www.gurgle.com/articles/Guide_To_Toddler/37239/gurgle_chats_to_Sarah_Ball_writer_and_director_of_Bob_the_Builder_Chuggington.aspx|title=Interview with Sarah Ball, Bob the builder & Chuggington writer and director|work=Gurgle.com|accessdate=2010-11-27}}</ref>}}

Bob the Builder has been parodied by ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' in the episode "[[List of Robot Chicken episodes#Season 3: 2007–2008|More Blood, More Chocolate]]", and by ''[[Comedy Inc.]]'' as Bodgy Builder.

Bob was also parodied on Cartoon Network's ''[[Mad (TV series)|MAD]]'' in the episode "S'UP / Mouse M.D." In the episode when [[Mickey Mouse]] portrays [[Gregory House]] he goes to perform surgery on Bob who smashed his thumb asking similar to his famous catchphrase "Can we fix it?" Mickey then replies no and orders for it to be amputated. He later appears in another episode when Bob interacts with Manny from ''[[Handy Manny]]'' after they get into a fender bender and get into an argument with Bob saying "Stop copying my show!" He leaves then someone tells Manny he just got built. In another episode, "Kung Fu Blander / Destroy Bob the Builder Destroy", ''Mad'' parodies ''Bob the Builder'' and ''[[Destroy Build Destroy]]''. In the episode, [[Andrew W.K.]] of ''Destroy Build Destroy'', is portrayed as being a jerk towards Bob. Andrew destroys everything Bob builds. In the end, Bob transforms his construction vehicles into Build-Tron (a parody of [[Voltron]]). A [[The New Yorker|New Yorker]] cartoon shows a parent in a toy store asking for toys depicting ''Alex the Architect'', supposedly a white-collar equivalent to ''Bob the Builder''.

Some have complained about technical errors and lack of proper safety practices in the programme, especially the absence of protective eyewear.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.fluidpowersafety.com/sfty_toy1.html|title= FLUID POWER SAFETY INSTITUTE - Toy Safety - ATTENTION PARENTS! - Bob the Builder Alert!|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20021105120445/http://www.fluidpowersafety.com/sfty_toy1.html|archivedate= 5 November 2002}}Archived from the original on 11 October 2009.</ref> However, in later episodes, Bob is seen using [[safety glasses]].

==Characters==
[[File:Bob the builder.jpg|thumbnail|Bob the Builder, the titular character, in his design used for the original series.]]
{{Main|List of Bob the Builder characters}}

==Merchandise==
Various companies manufacture licensed Bob the Builder merchandise (e.g.: Brio, Lego Duplo, Hasbro, Learning Curve, etc.) since about 1999 to present. Sometimes some fans make fan-made merchandise for the television show, such as racing games that are not related to the show.{{Citation needed|date=November 2011}}

===Lego Duplo/Explorer===
[[Lego]] began manufacturing licensed [[Lego Duplo|Duplo]] Bob the Builder sets in 2001. Lego Explorer also made the sets using the same bricks that Duplo used (e.g. Naughty Spud, Wallpaper Wendy, etc.). The sets were aimed at younger children, two and up. Duplo manufactured the sets (e.g. Scoop at Bobland Bay, Muck Can Do It, etc.) until 2009 when Lego's contract expired.{{Citation needed|date=November 2011}}

===Hasbro===
[[Hasbro]] created licensed Bob the Builder characters. They included talking characters and others to go with the Bob the Builder line. The Hasbro line was discontinued in 2005 when Learning Curve took the chance to take over. {{Citation needed|date=November 2011}}

===Learning Curve===
[[RC2 Corporation|Learning Curve]] among countless others held a license to make the toys, but discontinued them. They first merchandised their Bob the Builder products in 2005 after the Hasbro range was discontinued. Learning Curve also created the [[Thomas & Friends]] characters, while the company still makes the sets (e.g. Scoop, Muck, Lofty, Dizzy, andys trailer etc.) and then sold them to stores. They discontinued them in 2010 and it is unknown if they could ever return to making them. The toys are currently available in the United Kingdom by Character Options.{{Citation needed|date=November 2011}}

===Character World===
In 2012, Character World announced that they had signed a license to manufacture official Bob the Builder bedding and bedroom textiles. A duvet cover is said to be available in the UK in late 2012.

===Kiddie rides===
[[File:Bob the Builder ride, Sainsbury's north London.jpg|thumb|Bob the Builder video-optioned Scoop kiddie ride]]
Jolly Roger (Amusement Rides) Ltd. released two kiddie rides based on the series, a Scoop in January 2000, and a Roley in March 2003. In March 2003, Scoop was re-released with a new dashboard and a Stamar soundboard. Then, in 2004, versions of both rides were released with video screens.

==''Project Build It''==
{{mainlist|List of Bob the Builder episodes}}
In May 2005, a sort of spin-off series was released titled ''Bob the Builder: Project Build It''. Bob hears of a contest to build a new community in a remote area called Sunflower Valley, outside of Bobsville. He moves from Bobsville (supposedly temporarily) with Wendy and the machines and builds a new Yard there. Bob convinces his father, Robert, to come out of retirement and take over the Bobsville building business. It is unknown whether Bob returned to Bobsville in the stop-motion series or not after this spin-off series was finished.

For the US version of the ''Project Build It'' series, different actors were found to do the voices for many of the human characters, including casting [[Greg Proops]] as the new voice of Bob, and [[Rob Rackstraw]], who played the original Scoop, to be the voices of Spud the Scarecrow and Mr. Bentley for both the UK and the US. The show also added recycling and being [[environmentally friendly]] to its lessons, emphasising the phrase "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle."

This series premiered on September 3, 2005 in the United States.

==''Ready, Steady, Build!''==
The third spin-off was titled ''Bob the Builder: Ready, Steady, Build!'' It was created by [[Keith Chapman]] and [[Mallory Lewis]]. The group, now joined by newcomer Scratch are now residing in the town of Fixham Harbour (which is very similar to Bobsville, and is even implied to be Bobsville in several episodes), deal with construction and other building tasks around the area. Unlike previous series, ''Ready, Steady, Build!'' is animated in full [[Computer animation|CGI animation]], which allows for larger and more elaborate construction projects that would be too large or expensive for the model sets of the stop-motion series, though it still retains the theme song.<ref name=RSB>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s41sk|title=Bob the Builder: Ready, Steady, Build!|publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation|date=|accessdate=27 August 2010}}</ref>

==''Bob the Builder'' (2015 series)==
{{main|Bob the Builder (2015 TV series)}}
{{Refimprove section|date=June 2017}}
After the show originally ended in 2012, Mattel bought the ''Bob the Builder'' franchise for a revamped series which premiered on September 1, 2015 on Channel 5. The series was given a visual overhaul, for both the characters and the scenery, with Bob and his team moving to the bustling metropolis of Spring City. The CGI animation remained and the construction projects and buildings are significantly larger and more advanced. Mr. Bentley is now seen with a new character, Mayor Madison and a new builder named Leo joined the building team. Several new vehicles were also introduced, including a heavy delivery vehicle named Two-Tonne joining the team.

The entire cast was also replaced: ''[[Harry Potter]]'s'' [[Lee Ingleby]] and ''[[Downton Abbey]]'s'' [[Joanne Froggatt]] were confirmed to voice Bob and Wendy respectively. The music was also remastered but the rhythm of the main theme remained very much the same, and the lyrics were given only minor alterations due to the introduction of new characters.

The reboot was very poorly received by long time fans of the older series. Criticism focused on the new design of the characters.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Campbell|first1=Tina|title=Bob The Builder gets a makeover: 'WTF have they done?' asks everyone|url=http://metro.co.uk/2014/10/12/bob-the-builder-wtf-have-they-done-asks-everyone-as-newly-designed-character-unveiled-4903410/|accessdate=2 June 2017|work=Metro|date=12 October 2014}}</ref>

Turner Broadcasting System later bought the UK broadcasting rights for the 2015 series to be repeated on [[Cartoon Network (UK and Ireland)|Cartoon Network UK]]'s sister pre-school channel [[Cartoonito|Cartoonito UK]]. The channel began airing the series in January 2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=Boomerang UK And Cartoonito UK January 2016 Highlights|url=http://www.regularcapital.com/2015/12/boomerang-uk-and-cartoonito-uk-january-2016-highlights/|website=RegularCapital.com|publisher=Turner Broadcasting System|accessdate=14 January 2016}}</ref>

The show also airs on [[Family Jr.]] in Canada.

==Voice actors==
[[Voice acting|Voice actors]] who have contributed to the original British version include [[Neil Morrissey]], [[Rob Rackstraw]], [[Kate Harbour]], [[Rupert Degas]], [[Colin McFarlane]], [[Maria Darling]], Emma Tate, [[Richard Briers]], [[June Whitfield]] and Wayne Forester.

Celebrities who have provided voices for the series (usually for one-off specials) include [[John Motson]], [[Sue Barker]], [[Kerry Fox]], [[Ulrika Jonsson]], [[Alison Steadman]], [[Stephen Tompkinson]], [[Elton John]], [[Noddy Holder]], and [[Chris Evans (presenter)|Chris Evans]] (Bobsville's resident rock star Lennie Lazenby).

==International broadcasts==
''Bob the Builder'' is shown in more than thirty countries, and versions are available in English, French, Spanish, Slovenian, German, Italian, Dutch, Hebrew, Hindi and Croatian, among other languages. It was shown on [[CBeebies]] on [[BBC]] television in the UK.

The North American version of the show uses the original British footage and script, but [[dubbing (filmmaking)|dubs]] the voices in American accents and slang; for example, the word "[[Association football|soccer]]" is used instead of "football" to avoid confusion with the [[gridiron football|gridiron]] forms of the game. The original North American voice of Bob (and Farmer Pickles/Mr. Beasley/Mr. Sabatini) was [[William Dufris]], however, he was replaced with comedian [[Greg Proops]]. More recently, Bob's US voice has been provided by [[Marc Silk]], an English voice actor from [[Birmingham]].<ref name="SilkTV">{{cite web |url=http://www.marcsilk.com/silktv/silktv.html |title=Silk TV |accessdate=7 April 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100325135716/http://www.marcsilk.com/silktv/silktv.html |archivedate=25 March 2010 |df=dmy }}</ref><ref name="MarcSilk">{{cite web|url=http://www.marcsilk.com/|title=Marc Silk|accessdate=7 April 2010}}</ref>

When being exported to [[Japan]], it was reported that characters of ''Bob the Builder'' would be doctored to have five fingers instead of the original four. This was because of a practice among the [[Yakuza]], the famed Japanese [[Sicilian Mafia|mafia]], where members would "cut off their [[little finger]]s as a sign they can be trusted and have strength of character, and will stay through."<ref>{{cite news|url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/720419.stm|title = Bob the Builder fixed for Japan|publisher = BBC News|date = 20 April 2000|accessdate = 11 August 2006}}</ref> In fact, Bob the Builder aired in Japan without such edits,<ref>{{cite news|url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVYNxan37S8|title=2009 June 10 Japanese TV Ads Children Program Thomas & Friends and Bob The Builder|publisher=YouTube|date=17 August 2009|accessdate=6 January 2012}}</ref> as did other series including ''[[Postman Pat]]'' and ''[[The Simpsons]]''.

'''''Bob the Builder''''' is a [[Computer animation|CGI animated]] children's television series and a reboot of the British animated television show ''[[Bob the Builder]]''. It was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]], beginning on 1 September 2015 and [[PBS Kids]] in the United States in November.

==History==
{{Refimprove section|date=February 2018}}
After the original show ended in 2012, Mattel bought the ''Bob the Builder'' franchise for a revamped series which premiered on Channel 5 on 1 September 2015. The series was given a visual overhaul for both the characters and the scenery, with Bob and his team moving to the bustling metropolis of Spring City. The CGI animation remained and the construction projects and buildings are significantly larger and more advanced. Mr. Bentley is now seen with a new character, Mayor Madison and a new builder named Leo joined the building team. Several new vehicles were also introduced, including a heavy delivery vehicle named Two-Tonne.

Turner Broadcasting System later bought the UK broadcasting rights for the 2015 series to be repeated on [[Cartoon Network (UK and Ireland)|Cartoon Network UK]]'s sister pre-school channel [[Cartoonito]] UK. The channel began airing the series in January 2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=Boomerang UK And Cartoonito UK January 2016 Highlights|url=http://www.regularcapital.com/2015/12/boomerang-uk-and-cartoonito-uk-january-2016-highlights/|website=''RegularCapital.com''|publisher=Turner Broadcasting System|accessdate=14 January 2016}}</ref>After the first season ended [[Rainmaker Studios|Rainmaker Entertainment]] announced that they have ceased animating the show due to issues the company was having at the time. [[DHX Media]] announced that they have started work for the second season and that their [[Halifax Film|Halifax]] studio have officially replaced [[Rainmaker Studios|Rainmaker Entertainment]].

The show also airs on [[Family Jr.]] in Canada.

In Australia, Bob the Builder premiered in 2016. It airs on [[10 Peach]] ''(formerly known as [[Eleven (Australian TV channel)|Eleven]])'' every weekday morning.

===Criticism===
The reboot was very poorly received by long time fans of the older series. Criticism focused on the characters' redesigns and the changes to their personalities.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Campbell|first1=Tina|title=Bob The Builder gets a makeover: 'WTF have they done?' asks everyone|url=http://metro.co.uk/2014/10/12/bob-the-builder-wtf-have-they-done-asks-everyone-as-newly-designed-character-unveiled-4903410/|accessdate=2 June 2017|work=Metro|date=12 October 2014}}</ref>

It is a comedy [[puppet]] panel show following a format that parodies [[University Challenge]]. There are five contestants in each episode. Each show includes a 'missing word round', a 'picture round', a 'numbers round', a 'sound round,' and sometimes a 'general knowledge round'. The winner receives a silly prize -- Mr. Biscuits won a wooden spoon in episode 28.<ref name="Buzz_and_Tell_Episode_28">[https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00x3wdj/Buzz_and_Tell_Episode_28/ Buzz and Tell Episode 28]</ref>

== Characters ==

Different contestants appear in different episodes. Mr Biscuits has appeared in every episode alongside Mr Flipstick the quiz master.

*Walter Flipstick - He is the quizmaster of the show and a [[walrus]].
*Mr Biscuits - He is an unknown [[species]] (he looks like a [[rabbit]], but he has a red nose, like a clown's) who is an expert in the subject of [[biscuits]]. He once invented a biscuit that bakes itself.
*Orange Bernard - He is a [[banana]] obsessed [[orangutan]]. His greatest achievement is the ability to eat a banana sideways.
*Ken Koala - He is a very shy [[koala]] with an Australian accent.
*Miss Honkover - She is an exotic showbiz [[bird]].
*Melanie Wiggles - She is a rabbit who studies [[carrots]].
*Karl - He is a [[chinchilla]] with a large knowledge of [[nut (fruit)|nuts]]. He regularly forgets to press his buzzer and what he was going to say next.
*Henrietta Peck - She is an enthusiastic, but not very intelligent hen. She is often joined by one of her eggs hatching into a very deep voiced chick part way through the show. She is the only character who didn't appear in Series 2, but she returned in Series 3.
*Charles Cheese - He is a [[mouse]] with a [[cheese]] fascination. Also, he is the smallest of all of the contestants.
*B1N - B1N is a [[robot]] made from a pedal bin. B1N frequently answers 'sausage' to any question.
*Callista Croak - She is a [[frog]] who likes to keep fit.
*Riley Racer - He is a red [[Auto racing|racing car]] who likes racing, hence his name and species. He has an older brother named Ricky, a blue racing car, who showed up in one episode.
*Adrian Anteater - He is a clumsy [[anteater]] who loves eating ants and talks with a [[German accent]]. He often presses his buzzer by accident.
*Stem and Petal - They are hostile twin [[flowers]] who find it very hard to get along. One episode showed Stem trying to play the quiz without Petal, until the end.
*Ninjanic - She is a human [[ninja]] who likes to keep quiet and talks in a whispered voice.
*DJ Flappy - He is a fruit [[bat]] who writes and produces music.

'''''Bod''''' is a [[BBC One|BBC1]] children's television programme first shown in 1975, with thirteen episodes, based on four original ''Bod'' books by [[Joanne Cole|Joanne]] and [[Michael Cole (writer)|Michael Cole]]. It is a cel animated cartoon series narrated by [[John Le Mesurier]] and Maggie Henderson with music by [[Derek Griffiths]] and produced by David Yates. The four books were published in 1965 in the United Kingdom and later in the United States and France. They are: ''Bod's Apple'', ''Bod's Present'', ''Bod's Dream'' and ''Bod and the Cherry Tree''. The French version of ''Bod's Apple'' is called ''La Pomme de Gus''.

Before the animated series was commissioned, the four books had been read on another BBC children's programme: ''[[Play School (UK TV series)|Play School]]''. In 1974, thirteen five-minute episodes were created for transmission on the BBC as part of the ''[[Watch with Mother]]'' series, and were also sold to Australia's [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]] channel. Soon thereafter, it was shown in New Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Poland and Israel. In the United States, ''Bod'' aired on [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] as a segment on the ''[[Pinwheel (TV show)|Pinwheel]]'' program.

The character of Bod is a boy who lives in a town with Aunt Flo, PC Copper, Frank the Postman and Farmer Barleymow. Each of the characters has their own theme music performed by [[Derek Griffiths|Griffiths]] which is heard when they appear. Regular features are animal identification and Bod Snap.

There is also another set of characters who appear in each episode called ''Alberto Frog and his Amazing Animal Band'' with artwork by [[Joanne Cole]]. This section featured short extracts from famous pieces of [[Western classical music|classical music]] as part of the story, and always ended with Alberto choosing a different flavour of [[milkshake]] as his reward for solving a problem, and was narrated by Maggie Henderson.

''Bod'' has appeared in [[Channel 4]]'s [[100 Greatest Kids' TV shows]] and [[100 Greatest Cartoons]].

All thirteen Bod episodes are available on DVD.

The ''Alberto Frog'' segments were produced separately by the BBC and were originally shown alongside the Bod episodes; only five of these thirteen segments are known to survive, following a decision in the early 1990s to wipe a large amount of videotaped 1970s children's programmes <ref>{{citation

==Tie-ins and Taoism==
As well as books for each of the televised episodes, there have been two other [[tie-in]] books based on ''Bod'', by Alison and Lo Cole, the children of creators Joanne and Michael Cole. ''Bod's Way: The Meaning of Life'' was being worked on by Michael Cole before he died in 2001, and was completed by Alison.

The books reveal the [[Taoism|Taoist]] beliefs of Bod's original creators.<ref>{{Citation

'''''Brum''''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|r|ʌ|m}}) is a [[United Kingdom|British]] children's television series about the adventures of a small, [[artificial intelligence|artificially intelligent]], [[autonomous car|self-driven car]].

Set in [[Birmingham]], [[England]] and produced by [[Ragdoll Productions]], ''Brum'' was first broadcast in 1991 and the last live action series was broadcast in 2002. It was initially directed, written and produced by [[Anne Wood]] and initially narrated by [[Toyah Willcox]]. The show was first aired on [[BBC One]], as well as airing on satellite and pay television where it was screened on [[The Children's Channel|TCC]] and [[Sky Witness (TV channel)|Living]], and also aired in the United States on [[Discovery Family]], in Australia on [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]], [[ABC Kids (Australia)|ABC Kids]] and [[ABC2]], in Brunei on [[Radio Television Brunei|RTB]], in Singapore on [[Kids Central]], in South Africa on [[SABC2]] (with both an English dub and an Afrikaans dub) and [[CBeebies]], in New Zealand on [[TV3 (New Zealand)|TV3]], in Namibia on [[Namibian Broadcasting Corporation|NBC]], in Ireland on [[RTÉ]], in Germany on [[British Forces Broadcasting Service|BFBS]] and in the Emirates on [[Dubai 33]]. It also aired on the now defunct children's channel, KPC "Kids Pick Cartoons". A new CGI-animated series, aimed at young pre-school children, was produced in 2016.

==Plot and setting==
''Brum'' is the story of a small replica car who ventures out into Big Town when his owner isn't looking, and gets up to all manner of adventures. Each episode begins and ends in the same way, with Brum leaving the other cars in the motor museum when the owner's back is turned and heading out to explore Big Town, before eventually returning to his place. Each series has had its own background music. From series 1-2 the introduction music was the same but in series 2 they used different instruments. From Series 3-5 the music became jazzy.

The car can express himself in various mechanical ways including opening and closing his doors and bonnet, bobbing his suspension, and flashing and swivelling. The actors in ''Brum'' do not speak – mime and off-screen narration help propel the story. It was therefore easy to prepare episodes for airing in other countries, and the series has been broadcast in many parts of the world and in many languages.

The stories are set in the city of [[Birmingham]], England, since in addition to its onomatopoeic nature of a car engine revving, Brum (as a contraction of "[[Brummagem]]") is a common colloquial name for Birmingham. Although later series make no direct mention of Birmingham, calling it simply Big Town, many of the city's streets and landmarks can be seen in each episode.

The show was written by a range of writers. Anne Wood primarily wrote all the first series, while the second was written by Tom Poole, Dirk Campbell, [[Andrew Davenport]] and Morgan Hall. The last two series were written by the existing Ragdoll team.

The car itself – a half-scale replica of a late-1920s [[Austin 7]] Chummy convertible – was designed and built by [[Rex Garrod]]. It is now housed at the [[Cotswold Motoring Museum]] in [[Bourton-on-the-Water]], [[Gloucestershire]], which is also where the opening and closing sequences of the programme were filmed.

==Characters==
* Museum Owner (Mike Cavanagh): the owner of the car museum where Brum lives. He is the only human character who appears in every episode, and the only character who is apparently oblivious to Brum's adventures, despite finding items in the seats at the end of each episode. The actor, Mike Cavanagh, actually owned the Cotswold Motor Museum until 1999.
* The Lollipop Lady (Shirley-Anne Bohm): a lady who helps people, and Brum, cross the road safely, she appears in every episode in the second series.
* WPC Truncheon (Deborah Grant): the policewoman in the Big Town.
* The Big Town Robber ([[Andrew Davenport]]): always up to mischief, the robber's antics include stealing the trophy for the big race. Brum is usually the one that foils his plans as seen in "Brum and the Big Chase/Dancing in the Street", and "Brum and the Big Town Race/Brum and the Trophy".
* Mr. and Mrs. La-Di-Dah: a [[Upper class|posh]] married couple who regularly featured in the second series.
* Mr. and Mrs. Doolally: a friendly if slightly absent minded couple who regularly featured in the second series.
* Vicky Spoon: a regular cast member of the second series, Vicky is Brum's special friend.
* Micky Mender: a handyman, a regular cast member of the second series.
* Granny Slippers (Linda Kerr Scott): she wears slippers wherever she goes.
* Mr. Brillo (Rob Thirtle): lives next door to Granny Slippers. His favourite picture is the [[Mona Lisa|Gnoma Lisa]]. He has loads of [[Gnome#Garden gnomes|gnomes]] in his garden.
* Scruffy: Brum's friend, a dog who loves burying things.
* Big Town Mayor (John Woodford): the town manager.
* Mrs. Posh (Iona Kennedy / Carole Davies): a posh lady who lives in the town.
* Traffic Policeman ([[Mark Powlett]]): a "knockabout" policeman, who owns a horse called Arrow.
* The Mayoress: the mayor of Big Town
* Gorgeous Gordon (Enoch White): a self-centred, full-of-himself hairdresser who wears a wig as hair.
* Bob & Job (Kevin McGreevy & Adam Schumacher): two comically clumsy men, who wear green dungarees and yellow T-shirts and help the town in a way of [[slapstick]] style from [[Laurel and Hardy]].
* The Celebrity (Johnnie Fiori): a celebrity who appeared in the episode 'Brum and the Airport Adventure' when she had her jewels stolen by Bubble & Squeak at the Big Town Airport.
* Rob & Nick (Dan Carey and Jason Segade): a bumbling pair of thieves, also known as the Big Town baddies who are best known for stealing Mr. Brillo's gnome, robbing the golf buggy at the Big Town Golf Course and a posh celebrity's dog.
* Policewoman (Lisa Allen)
* Sally: a women in the Big Town who had her cake stolen by teenagers on her birthday in the episode "Brum and the Birthday Cake/Cake Gang".

'''Boo!''' is a [[children's television series]] shown in the United Kingdom on the [[CBeebies]] channel,<ref name=cbeebies_boo>{{cite web |work= CBeebies Grownups |title= Boo! |publisher=BBC |url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/grownups/about/programmes/boo.shtml |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20091227113518/http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/grownups/about/programmes/boo.shtml |archivedate= 2009-12-27 |accessdate=1 January 2010}}</ref> and originally on [[BBC Two]], and produced by [[Universal Studios]]. It features several cartoon characters who play a game similar to [[hide and seek]] in a variety of settings. The commentary is performed by an adult narrator and a chorus of children. The series was produced by the independent production company [[Tell-Tale Productions]], which was also responsible for ''[[Tweenies]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title= Tell-Tale's Boo! set for summer slot on CBBC |publisher=[[Broadcast (magazine)|Broadcast]] |url= http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/tell-tales-boo-set-for-summer-slot-on-cbbc/1118135.article |date=22 May 2003 |accessdate=1 January 2010}}</ref> From 2007 to 2012, reruns of the show, then it re-airs again in January 2019, were broadcast in the USA on Qubo.

The series ran for a total of 102 episodes and one Christmas special and was nominated for a [[BAFTA]] in 2002-03.

At the end of the programme a song is sung, usually about matching characters or objects to their shapes or colours.

The visual style of ''Boo!'' is very distinctive, using 3D [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] with rounded shapes and [[Cel-shaded animation|cel-shading]]. The music and songs are generally in an early-70s funk/R&B idiom.

==Characters==
*'''Boo''' - a pear/eggplant-shaped patchwork creature with orange spiky hair. His feet are red with white spots on them. The main object of the programme is to find Boo in his various hiding places. Half-way through each episode, Boo magically adopts attributes of his surroundings (e.g. becomes "Penguin Boo" in the Antarctic). Boo cannot talk, although he whistles at the beginning of each episode and dances during every song.
*'''Laughing Duck''' (voiced by [[Kate Harbour]]) - a yellow soft-toy [[duck]], who laughs when "found". She has a red-orange bill that matches her legs and has abilities to fly and swim. In some episodes, she meets some people who happen to be [[employee]]s. In the hospital, she has been found sad because her laugh is lost, but it is regained when Boo tickles her flipper.
*'''Sleeping Bear''' (voiced by [[Justin Fletcher]])) a brown [[teddy bear]] who is usually asleep, yawning or stretching when "found". His blankie is red with white-printed hearts on it. The catchphrase associated with him is "Shhh... Tippy-toe, tippy-toe."
*'''Growling Tiger''' (also voiced by [[Justin Fletcher]]) - a friendly soft-toy [[tiger]] with fluffy white ears. Despite his name, he says "Roar!" (not "Growl!") when found. His associated catchphrase is "It's Growling Tiger! Run away! Run away!"

Other characters, both human and animal vary from one episode to another. The people who have speaking roles in this show are the [[artist]]s, Chatty [[Hairdresser]], Helpful [[Nurse]], Caring [[physician|Doctor]], Helpful [[Teacher]] (the [[ice skating|ice-skater]]), Helpful [[waiter|Waitress]], Happy [[Customer]]s (one man and one woman), Busy [[Chef]], the woman in [[stilts|high stilt]]s, the [[Ringmaster (circus)|ringmaster]], Careful Grownup, Graceful Teacher (the [[ballet dancer]]), Gentle [[Veterinary physician|Vet]] and Cheering [[Dad]]. The Blue Squawking [[Parakeet]] (actually a [[Cockatoo]]) with a red crest on it appears in a [[birdcage]] (being taken home by a customer) when we are about to enter the veterinarian.

'''''Flower Pot Men''''' is a British children's programme, produced by [[BBC]] [[television]], first transmitted in 1952, and repeated regularly for more than twenty years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b7c182de7|title=The Flowerpot Men (1952)|work=BFI}}</ref> A reboot of the show called '''''Bill and Ben''''' was produced in 2001.<ref name=screenonline>{{cite web|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/443702/index.html|title=BFI Screenonline: Flowerpot Men, The (1952-54)|work=screenonline.org.uk}}</ref>

==Original series==
Originally, the programme was part of a BBC [[children's television series]] titled ''[[Watch with Mother]]'', with a different programme each weekday, most of them involving string puppets. The ''Flower Pot Men'' was the story of Bill and Ben, two little men made of flower pots who lived at the bottom of an English [[suburbia|suburban]] garden. The characters were devised by Hilda Brabban. She wrote three original stories of the three characters (Bill, Ben and Little Weed) which she sold to the BBC for one guinea each. The stories were originally broadcast on the radio programme ''[[Listen with Mother]]'' in 1951.<ref>{{cite book |author1=Penny Legg |author2=James Marsh |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ctQTDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT56&dq=%22Bill+and+Ben%22+gardener&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiz9-SX0oDbAhWL_p8KHa5GB4oQ6AEINTAC#v=onepage&q=%22Bill%20and%20Ben%22%20gardener&f=false |title=A 1950s Southampton Childhood |location=Stroud |publisher=History |isbn=9780752482859 }}</ref>

The rights to the stories were later sold to Ben Productions which turned the radio programme into the hugely popular television show. The puppeteers were [[Audrey Atterbury]] and Molly Gibson. The voices and other noises were produced by [[Peter Hawkins]], Gladys Whitred and Julia Williams. The narration for all episodes was done by [[Maria Bird]].

The plot changed little in each episode. The programme always took place in a garden, behind a potting shed. The third character was Little [[Weed]], of indeterminate species, somewhat resembling a [[sunflower]] or [[dandelion]] with a smiling face, growing between two large flowerpots. The three were also sometimes visited by a [[tortoise]] called Slowcoach, and in one particular episode, the trio meet a slightly mysterious character made out of potatoes called Dan the potato man. While the "man who worked in the garden" was away having his dinner the two Flower Pot Men, Bill and Ben, emerged from the two flowerpots. After a minor adventure a minor mishap occurs; someone is guilty. "Which of those two flower pot men, was it Bill or was it Ben?" the narrator trills, in a quavering [[soprano]]; the villain confesses; the gardener's footsteps are heard coming up the garden path; the Flower Pot Men vanish into their pots and the [[closing credits]] roll. The final punch-line was, "and I think the little house knew something about it! Don't ''you''?"

The Flower Pot Men spoke their own, highly inflected version of English, called Oddle Poddle, which was invented by [[Peter Hawkins]] (who also voiced the [[Dalek]]s and [[Captain Pugwash]]). An icicle was an "ickle-kickle", and Ben would say "flobabdob".<ref name=screenonline/> At the end of each adventure, they would say bye-bye to each other and to the Little Weed – "Babap ickle Weed" – to which the Weed would inevitably reply with tremulous [[Cadence (music)|cadence]] "Weeeeeeeeeeed". This language, like that of the [[Teletubbies]] in the 1990s, was criticised for hindering children from learning proper English.<ref name=screenonline/>

==2001 reboot==
On 4 January 2001, a reboot<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1100031.stm Flowerpot Men bloom again], [[BBC Online]], 4 January 2001. Retrieved 28 December 2009</ref> named ''Bill and Ben'' began on [[CBBC]] on [[BBC Two]], this time involving [[stop-motion animation]], 35mm film style and full colour, and made by [[Cosgrove Hall Films]] with a team of ten animators.<ref name=bcdb>"[http://www.bcdb.com/cartoons/Other_Studios/C/Cosgrove_Hall_Films/Bill_and_Ben/index.html Bill and Ben]". ''www.bcdb.com'', 13 April 2012</ref> This reboot features the voices of [[John Thomson (comedian)|John Thomson]] (who also serves as the narrator), Jimmy Hibbert and [[Eve Karpf]].<ref name=bcdb /> The series aired in Ireland on [[RTEjr]] and formerly aired on [[CBeebies]] in 2002-2008.

Many additions were implemented:
* A mean female [[rose|rosebush]] with two talking [[bud|buds]] in the neighbour's garden named Rose.
* A mischievous female prickly plant named Thistle.
* A female [[magpie]] named Pry, obsessed by shiny treasures, often just bottle caps.
* A male [[hedgehog]] named Boo.
* Slowcoach remains in the series, with few changes to his characteristics. He gets angry at Bill & Ben for ruining his things.
* A male [[frog]] named Tad.
* A female [[squirrel]] named Scamper.
* A male baby squirrel named Scuff. He is Scamper's baby nephew.
* A female [[spider]] named Whimsy.
* A male [[worm]] named Whoops.
* A male talking [[tomato]] named Ketchup.
* A male [[turtle]] named Tortuga.
* Another male tortoise called Lightning. He is Slowcoach's brother.
* Weed is no longer a [[weed]], but an enormous [[sunflower]]. Rather than just saying "Weed!", she speaks normal English, playing an "[[earth mother]]" role to Bill and Ben and often assisting them. However, she does mutter that word in her sleep sometimes.

==Comics==
The show was the basis for a comic strip of the same name in the children's magazine ''[[Robin (magazine)|Robin]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comicvine.com/bill-and-ben-the-flowerpot-men/4060-59366/|title=Bill and Ben, the Flowerpot Men|work=comicvine.com}}</ref>
